Do I Have The Space For A Bowflex Home Gym?

The Bowflex fitness machines are the home equivalent of a total gym workout in one small package. They give you good strength training and even better circuit training exercises to improve and maintain your body in a small workout space.

Each Bowflex is different in its actual dimensions and required floor space. If workout space is limited in your home, you'll be happy to know that most Bowflex machines come on wheels and fold up to roll away for easy storage. This helps keep your workout space free when not being used for exercise.

These total gym systems work everything from your arms to your abdominals and your legs. They save your space since no other strength or circuit training exercise machines are needed.

Bowflex Sport

The Bowflex Sport fitness machine has a workout footprint of about nine feet deep and almost seven feet wide. It extends about seven and a half feet high. The folded footprint is fifty-two inches long by thirty-eight inches wide. This average size Bowflex requires a workout space of about ten feet by nine feet, the size of a small bedroom.

Bowflex Xtreme XTLU

The Bowflex Xtreme XTLU fitness trainer is a smaller fitness trainer than the Bowflex Sport. This one has a workout area of seven feet by six feet. While it is designed for a smaller area, this Bowflex does not have the fold up option and will require a permanent dedicated place in your home. This fitness trainer features more of a vertical workout style and comes with the leg extension and a leg curl attachment.

Bowflex Xtreme XLU

Bowflex Xtreme XLU fitness machine is a smaller version of the Xtreme XTLU. It features a workout area of five feet by six feet.

So what is the difference between these two total gym systems? With the XLU, you have the capability of performing about sixty different exercises. The XTLU has over sixty-five different exercise possibilities and also comes with the leg curl attachment and leg extension. The attachments require more floor space, so the XTLU is longer by about two feet over the XLU.

If you are lucky enough to have a room dedicated to your home gym, or a large space in your basement, you might want to consider the largest of the Bowflex fitness trainers. The Bowflex Ultimate XTLU total gym workout system has a workout area of seven feet by nine feet. It folds and rolls into a closet or other area for storage. The XTLU is the biggest fitness trainer, and most effective total gym system, with over ninety exercises and many attachments that need the space to be used properly.

All Bowflex fitness machines can come with or without attachments that customize the size in order to fit into your chosen workout area.

Measure the space you have available for your workout equipment, and then check the Bowflex website for exact dimensions of all of the Bowflex equipment you are interested in purchasing. This ensures that the fitness trainer you buy will work in the space you have available.
